Virginia Election Results LIVE: Obama up with 93% Reporting

In 2008, then-Senator Obama won Virginia and turned a traditionally red state blue, this year President Obama will try to hold on to the southern state, while Mitt Romney tries take the southern state red again. The polling in Virginia has been a statistical dead heat for over a month, with the latest polls having President Obama at 48.0, according to Real Clear Politics' poll of polls and Mitt Romney at 47.7.

If Virginia’s 13 electoral college votes go to President Obama, Mitt Romney may have to give his concession speech early as he would need to win nearly every swing state to win the presidency. Alternatively, if Mitt Romney wins Virginia, President Obama will need to win Ohio or Florida to have a solid path to the White House. Virginia does not have early voting, so we should expect for polls in heavily populated areas to have the last vote counted much later in the night.

Virginia could turn the tide of the election night long before results in Ohio or Wisconsin, two other significant swing states, are known. Stay tuned here to find out what happens in Virginia and how it will impact the rest of the election night.
